Meet our Members: Anne Thomas
This week on "Meet our Members", we interview Rookie Anne Thomas
CFR: Was there a specific even that first interested you in becoming a fire fighter?
I never grew up thinking that becoming a firefighter was even an option, now it’s huge passion of mine. Giving back to my community, volunteering, it's incredibly fulfilling. Firefighting sincerely found me and I’m eternally grateful for it!
CFR: What is your favourite part of working at Comox Fire Rescue?
I moved to Comox specifically for Comox Fire Rescue- it was by far one of my best life choices. I work along side with some pretty incredible people that I’ve learned so much from. The instructors and officers have become huge mentors in my “Fire Career” and couldn’t ask for better support. It's an honour to be part of such an incredible family.
CFR: Tell us about your family?
I have an incredible better half who is my number one supporter. I also have an adventure kitten named Pika.
CFR: Tell us about your day job?
Most days during the winter you can find me at Mount Washington as a Pro Ski Patroller.
CFR: Outside of the fire department, what are your interests/hobbies?
Anything outside is where you’ll find me! Skiing, ski touring in the backcountry, surfing, biking, trail running and camping.
“Anne has been such a great addition to our team. Her hard work and dedication to Comox Fire Rescue is amazing.” states Fire Chief Gord Schreiner. “Thank you for all that you do for our department and our community Anne! Keep up the great work!”
